Are you an international medical graduate?

If you’re an international medical graduate and wish to practice medicine in Australia, you’ll need to verify your qualifications and experience.

Pathways

International medical graduates (IMGs) whose medical qualifications are from a medical school outside of Australia or New Zealand and who are seeking registration to practice medicine in Australia must provide evidence of eligibility to undertake one of the following assessment pathways: 

  • Competent Authority pathway 
  • Standard pathway
  • Specialist pathway   

The assessment process assesses the knowledge and clinical skills of IMGs seeking to qualify for medical registration in Australia. 

The verification process (along with exams, where required) is through the Australian Medical Council. Registration is through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.

You’ll also be required to obtain a fellowship of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners or the Australian College for Rural and Remote Medicine. 

It’s worth noting that we only recruit for doctors looking to work in general practice, not hospital-based general practice or non-general practice positions. For these roles, please visit the Territory Department of Health.
